David Matlack 081de470f1 KVM: x86/mmu: Leverage vcpu->last_used_slot in tdp_mmu_map_handle_target_level
The existing TDP MMU methods to handle dirty logging are vcpu-agnostic
since they can be driven by MMU notifiers and other non-vcpu-specific
events in addition to page faults. However this means that the TDP MMU
is not benefiting from the new vcpu->last_used_slot. Fix that by
introducing a tdp_mmu_map_set_spte_atomic() which is only called during
a TDP page fault and has access to the kvm_vcpu for fast slot lookups.

This improves "Populate memory time" in dirty_log_perf_test by 5%:

Command                         | Before           | After
------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------
./dirty_log_perf_test -v64 -x64 | 5.472321072s     | 5.169832886s

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
